New Graduate Student Orientation

The New Graduate Student Orientation (NGSO) is a free, half-day event for incoming graduate students to the University of Hawaiâ€˜i at MÄnoa (UHM). Attending NGSO will be a great opportunity for you to meet peers from different fields, begin creating long-lasting connections, and learn about services and organizations on campus.

This orientation is designed to complement department-specific orientations and TA orientation by providing general information any graduate student should know regardless of their department, degree program, or assistantship. The topics of the day will range from finding funding opportunities, to learning about writing at the graduate level, to developing skills to foster good relationships with faculty mentors, and much more.
